Martial Arts Worlds-Chapter 540: Women of Red Rose

Wunderland, Rodero, 12th Sandstrom’s Street.

Inside a nice-looking bedroom, there was a cozy bed with fluffy pillows and a warm duvet—it was surrounded by thin curtains that gently billowed in the breeze from the open window.

Sprawled on the bed, head on the pillow, was a naked, motionless man, who had a deep smile on his face and his eyes closed in peaceful slumber.

However, it was clear that his chest wasn’t moving, indicating that he was no longer breathing, and his skin had a grayish tint to it.

"Mm~"

Humming a peaceful tone, a naked woman sat at the make-up desk, combing her hair as she looked at her beautiful self through the reflection.

She had long black hair that cascaded down her back in gentle waves, and her skin had a dewy look to it.

It was clear that she was in her early twenties—she had a slender figure, a round face, and bright eyes—anyone would consider her a very beautiful young woman.

At first glance, it looked weird that someone like her would be sleeping with the older man, who was dead on the bed, as he was both wrinkly and balding from the top of his head.

Buzz~ Buzz~

Her phone buzzed with activity on the desk, and she picked it up—she recognized the number—and without further ado, she accepted it.

"Clara~"

Beatrice said with a smile on her face.

"Hey, Beatrice~ I heard from other girls that you went with some old guy back to his place, hehe~"

Clara’s giggling voice sounded from the other side of the phone.

"I did~"

Beatrice chuckled.

"I never understand why you decide to do the Arghman’s Ceremony with some ugly guys. You can do it with every guy in the town, so why them?"

Clara asked curiously.

"There is no reason, really. I was just in desperate need of a new bag, and this guy was loaded, as he is the oldest son of the Kulhiman Family."

Beatrice said, and then with the comb in her hand, she put her hair over her shoulder, let it cascade over her breasts, and then gave it a proper combing.

"Well, did he last long at least~?"

Clara asked shyly.

"No... It ended pretty quickly. I think he humped his hips about thirty seconds before he was done."

Beatrice said with a disappointing sigh.

"That’s not long enough to finish the Arghman’s Ceremony, though. Are you saying that he is still alive?"

Clara asked curiously.

"No... When he passed out, I did it again with his limp dick, which was honestly a pretty disappointing experience, but he’s dead now."

Beatrice said with a sigh, and she put the comb down and then looked around for her dress on the floor—after she found it, she put it back down—and then she went back to the desk and put her earrings back on.

"That’s why I am saying that do it with someone of your age class~ I am sure they can last longer than those dinosaurs you usually do it with."

Clara said.

"I’ll think about it, babe. I am done here for now, see you later~"

With that, she ended the phone call, and then she went and kneeled before the bed—she put her hands in prayer—and she then looked towards the ceiling.

"Lady Amarelyn, the crimson woman behind the veil, the seductress of the weak-minded, and the savior of the damned, I pray for a miracle.

"Don’t let those who peer into the mind of the Konrad Kulhiman find anything that could be used against me. Not my face, not my name, and not even the slightest hint of my existence."

She clapped her hands, picked up everything she brought with her to this room, and then left.

...

In the Dungeon Clearance Office.

"And here is your card, sir!"

A mild-mannered man said while handing a blue card over to Kiernan with a somewhat discreet smile on his face.

"A blue card is all I can get as Martial Master?"

Kiernan asked.

"Yes. It will allow you to enter Green-Gated Dungeons, and Blue-Gated Dungeons, but those above, like yellow, red, and black, are forbidden for someone of your card.

"A green card is for those of Martial Recruit, Soldier, and Fighter martial ranks.

"A blue card is for those of Martial Champion, Master, and Grandmaster martial ranks.

"A yellow card is for those of Martial King martial rank.

"A red card is for those of Martial Legend martial rank.

"And lastly, a black card is for those of the Martial Emperor martial rank."

The mild-mannered man explained patiently.

"Okay... Thank you."

Kiernan thanked for the blue card, slid it inside his wallet, and walked out of the Dungeon Clearance Office.

It was required for him to get a card before heading over to the dungeon, as without a card, he wasn’t going to be allowed to enter any of the dungeons.

With hurry in his steps, he quickly headed over to the dungeon, and as he walked down a cobblestone street, he started to see bigger crowds forming in the near distance.

In front of an enormous entrance—it looked like it was designated for a giant, who could use it as an ordinary door—people were shouting.

"I need one more person for my party to go to clear 55th Blue Gate!"

"I need a healer-based Martial King for the 12th Yellow Gate. Is anyone interested?!"

"Does anyone want to go check out 8th Green Gate with me? We’ll split the rewards that we find fifty-fifty!"

It was a chaotic scene, and right here, Martial Kings were as common as ants on the ground, and they were everywhere Kiernan looked.

’It looks like people don’t like to head to the Dungeon alone, and I don’t blame them. It is quite dangerous, and I see most people carrying weapons with them.’

Kiernan thought to himself.

"Wait up!"

At that moment, the cheeks of the young men blushed furiously as a beautiful black-haired young woman ran past the crowd and joined up with other lovely maidens by the entrance.

"Beatrice, I am surprised that you still decided to come after the busy night you had~"

"Hehe, not even going to rest?"

"Hmph, that wasn’t a good enough experience that I would need rest!"

Beatrice said with a sweet smile while laughing with the other lovely maidens, and when the young men saw them, they felt like they were looking at angels.

All lovely, beautiful, and ethereal.

However, in their hair, all of them had the same hair accessory—a small red rose—and it was something that they all wore in the exact same spot, close to their left ear.
